People Want Chinese Hentai Artist Arrested After Backlash For Degrading Women

It seems like anime and anything “hentai” related can’t catch a break. There’s always some controversy or backlash going on.

This time around it’s related to JM, a NSFW artist who designs anime porn and hentai characters.

His themes are usually sexually driven. And he even has his own series built around his art.

The artist has been banned on Patreon after his series “Empire” came under fire.

Criticisms

According to Sixth Tone:

“His artwork has angered viewers for condoning violence against women and incorporating themes such as women’s unconditional submission and subjugation to men. One such piece suggested women should be forbidden from gaining weight or using contraception, while another portrayed a woman as the novel coronavirus that has killed 1.4 million people globally.

In particular, people have slammed JM for portraying “comfort women” — as the Chinese sex slaves kept by Japanese soldiers during the Second Sino-Japanese War are sometimes known — in a “disrespectful and degrading” manner.”

4000+ people in China want JM arrested

Sixth Tone said:

“After recently discovering JM’s work, many in China are urging the authorities to ban or even arrest him. A hashtag with the artist’s name has been purged from microblogging platform Weibo, and nearly all of the 4,000 respondents to an online poll on social platform Douban agreed that JM’s art should be boycotted over its misogynist themes.

It continues:

“A Weibo user who asked to be identified as Amatoshi told Sixth Tone that some of JM’s work had left her “angry and uncomfortable” because of its grotesque depictions of women.

Though some may argue that the artist’s work is purely creative and not even publicly accessible — as making or disseminating pornography is illegal in China, punishable with prison sentences — she feels it’s excessive.”
